Chapter 5

Kaiden pov

I got to see my mate naked, and I feel so guilty she looks way too thin. She got more bruises on different areas of her body, making me angry, but I can't show it.

I growled earlier, and she got scared.

"Kaiden, I'm cold," she whispers, shaking.

"Almost done, sweets," I say, stepping out of the bathtub. I grab the big towels and dry her off before drying myself. Her nipples are rock hard, and my mouth waters looking at them. I would love to suck them.

I grab lotion and lotion her body before putting a nightgown on her with the fluffy robe I found in her closet.

How do I know where her shit is? I got to looking through her things when she was in a deep sleep to distract myself. The way I treated her still haunts me, and the proof in front of me makes my gut churn, so I got busy looking through her shit. I rushed back to bed when she whimpered in her sleep and became her heating blanket. It felt so good holding her against me while she slept. I bet she barely slept the whole time she lived here.

"I'm sleepy," her voice is soft as she yawns, snapping me back to here, and now. I lift her and head for her bed. I have my towel around my waist, and I'm hard again. I really want to be balls deep inside her, but I need her willing, not upset with me or scared.

I lay her in bed and pull sweatpants on and crawl in with her. She yawns again, and her eyes drift shut, making me smile. The bath took a lot out of her.

My cell vibrates, and I pick it up and sigh seeing Cecilia called over fifty times, and she is currently texting me.

"Please answer Kaiden," she texts, "you promised me forever. I don't deserve this treatment from you. "I sigh softly and text back.

"My mate needs me, and I know you're pregnant with your mate's pup. I could smell it earlier in my office. Go be with him. I'm staying with Jasmine, so stop texting and calling. We are done...over...I'm marking her soon, "I text fast. There is a long pause before she texts a final message.

"You both will be very sorry for this," she sends a middle finger emoji, and I lay my cell down. I turn to watch Jasmine and feel bad. I put her through this. I never wanted her to run away. I just wanted time to get a clean break from Cecilia and have her be happy, too.

I know she met her mate and was torn between us both. She wanted the forever I promised and the mate she was drawn to. She wanted us both.

"Kaiden," I look at Jasmine, and she looks sad.

"I feel sick," she sniffles, and I mind link our doctor to come to us or send another werewolf doctor my way. I'm getting her checked over.

"I got a doctor coming sweets. Just rest for me. "I pull her to lay on top of me so she can get warm. Her little hands touch my chest and I feel my cock throb with need.

"Is it Doctor Frank? Is he still practicing medicine?"she asks.

"Yeah, he is still running around being our super doctor," I say, stroking her hair and back. "He is either coming to check you or having a doctor near us come. You need a physical and maybe a healing serum shot, "she sighs .

"It is just fatigue Kaiden I will be fine," she mutters with a tired yawn.

"You keep throwing up, and your sweet neighbor has been trying to put weight on you. Neither is working, Jasmine, so I'm having you checked over",she looks up at me, and I see anger flash through her eyes.

"Well, none of this is my damn fault Kaiden",she grits out.

"I never said that sweets," I defend myself.

"You and your whore did this. I left so you could stay with her and you search for me anyway. I'm not coming back to do a poly relationship, "she seethes out at me.

"That won't happen, Jasmine. I told her I just want you, "I say, and she scoffs

"Yeah, until she falls or hurts herself, then you will run to her and baby her. She will play dirty tricks for your attention, and I bet my ass you will go running. I'm not tolerating anything. I'm not coming in second to a whore",she growls.

"Jasmine, I'm here with you, not her. I told her I'm being with you and I won't go running to her over anything. She is pregnant with her mate's pup, "I say, hoping that helps, but her little body stiffens, and I cuss myself.

"So since she isn't available, I'm up. Wow, I'm always second to her no matter what you say, "she sniffles and tries to move away.

"No damn it, I'm choosing you. I fucking want you. Here look at my messages. "I gently move her and hand her my cellphone. I get up and go answer the door as the doctor knocks. We come back to Jasmine sitting there looking sad.

"Hi honey, I'm Doctor Hane. I was sent by Doctor Frank to come check you over. What are your symptoms?"he asks her, and I watch her talk. She looks exhausted even now, making me feel like absolute shit. He takes her vitals and listens to her lungs.

"I'm just having trouble keeping food down," she looks embarrassed.

"Were you rejected?"he asked, and she deflates.

"I rejected him he never accepted it or rejected me back. I was fine a few days after I left, but then I began throwing up and losing weight",he sighs sadly as he listens.

"Jasmine, your body isn't liking this abrupt change. Your mate will need to mark you to stop this. You are weak because the rejection isn't taking. You rejected out of anger, so your bond is still intact. I got a serum shot to help you stop puking, and I also got pain pills because you look hurt. Have you passed out at all?"She stiffens at this, and her eyes shift off us to the floor.

She nods yes, and I grit my teeth. I really fucked up with her. He pulls out the serum shot and pills to help manage pain. He hands over bruise cream and tells her she must eat before he leaves. I see him out and pay him.

Locking up after he is gone. I sigh and head back to my girl.

"Let me mark you," I say softly, and she sighs.

"I don't think you should." She looked up at me, "we got too much unresolved stuff going on. A big issue is your girlfriend. I read all your messages. Kaiden, she is overly obessed with you, and they get worse as they go. She said we both would pay. Pay for what exactly?"she asks.

"I told her I wanted my mate, and she will have to deal with that," she huffs as she takes a pill and yawns.

"It isn't that simple Kaiden she will try to sway you, and it may work. She is unhinged. "I take my cellphone and growl at the last twenty messages. Cecilia is threatening to kill Jasmine if she has to. I call Grayson and sigh.

"I want you to ban Cecilia from the pack," I say when he answers. Jasmine looks shocked, but I just shrug.

"Are you certain?"he asks.

"Yes, she threatened my mate. I'm not taking any chances with that. Tell her she is banned from the Fireside pack effective immediately:,he sighed and said he would handle it personally.

"I got it, bro. Take care of Jasmine, "he hangs up, and I rub my neck.

Shit is gonna get interesting.
